blank line

I have been working with this little piece of code and what I want I
have not been able to get:
OutputForm [ StringForm ["nb = " , 666 ] ] >> ou
gives me: nb = 666
OutputForm [ StringForm ["nb = ``\n " , 666 ] ] >> ou
gives me nb = 666 and a subsequent blank line.
However, I would like to get a blank line before the output:
If I try:
OutputForm [ StringForm ["\nnb = " , 666 ] ] >> ou
I get :
666
nb =
WOuld it be possible to get what I want using just a one line command
such as the above?
Thanks
